A Hopkinton, RI Colonial Farmhouse Reroofed — CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Max Def Pewterwood

Like most Pinnacle roofing projects, the work was completed in a single day — minimizing disruption for the homeowner.

Pinnacle makes every roof affordable with monthly financing options to make your home project affordable with low monthly payments, including 0% interest for 18 months.

A long colonial farmhouse with a full front porch is a signature Hopkinton silhouette — and a lot of roof plane to get right. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights replaced this one with a complete CertainTeed system, finished in Landmark PRO Max Def Pewterwood.

Scope of Work

Long, simple roof planes reward disciplined work: courses have to stay dead straight for sixty feet, or the whole roof shows it. The crew stripped the old shingles, ran ice and water shield along the eaves and porch transitions, laid synthetic underlayment, set new drip edge and starters, then installed the Landmark PRO field with matching ridge caps — completed in a single day.

What We Installed (And Why)

Landmark PRO is the heavyweight edition of the industry’s benchmark dual-layer shingle: more material in every course, Max Def granule blends for color depth, and CertainTeed’s lifetime limited warranty. On a big, visible field like a farmhouse roof, the dual-layer dimensionality keeps all that plane from reading flat.

Max Def Pewterwood earns its popularity on houses exactly like this — the gray-driftwood blend gives a white farmhouse quiet sophistication without fighting the porch, the shutters, or the trees. It is a fifty-year-old aesthetic delivered by a thoroughly modern shingle.

Good To Know: How can a whole roof be replaced in one day?

Crew size and sequencing. A properly staffed crew strips, dries-in, and shingles in a continuous choreography — one team tearing off just ahead of the team waterproofing, shingles staged on the roof before the field team needs them. One-day replacement is not rushing; it is the discipline of never letting the house sit exposed. The alternative — a roof open over multiple days — is where weather finds its opening.

Why This Approach Works

Full-system replacement on a simple gable is the best value in roofing: every dollar goes into the layers that matter, not complexity. Ice and water shield, underlayment, starters, dual-layer field, sealed caps — nothing exotic, everything done right.
